In March, Trump ordered aggressive data sharing across agencies—setting the stage to track AND profile ALL Americans.
This system puts privacy at risk and can target any American. Palantir is even working with DHS to track people’s movements in real-time.

🚨Trump is massively expanding Palantir’s role across federal agencies—pooling sensitive data from DHS, HHS, and the IRS into one centralized system.
Here’s why that matters. 🧵

Sofia’s story and ones like it are just a glimpse into the vision of Trump's America, where humanity and compassion do not exist.
But that’s not who we are nor who we should allow ourselves to become.
The Trump Administration is revoking the immigration status of 4-year-old Sofia and her family.
Without the ability to stay in the US for the care she needs, she could die within days.
This Administration’s efforts to intimidate and silence those who stand in their way make one thing clear: No one is safe in Trump’s America.
But as your voice in Congress, I’ll never back down.
From the “Art of the Deal” to the “TACO” trade, history has shown Trump is all talk, no substance and bad for business.
And while he continues to wreak havoc on our economy, @housedemocrats.bsky.social will keep fighting for families across America. 👊
Inspired after hearing our Youth Advisory Council present their final projects after a year of hard work.
From immigration to gun violence prevention, they addressed real issues facing the 8th.
Their future is bright— and I'll keep fighting for them in D.C.
As we wrap up #AAPIHeritageMonth, it was great spending time with small business owners in India Square in Jersey City.
It's vital we support the culture, contributions, and communities that help power our district.
SAMHSA’s 988 lifeline provides 24/7 vital support to people struggling with their mental health.
As a member of the Men’s Health Caucus, I joined 30+ of my colleagues in sending a letter to HHS Secretary Kennedy opposing the agency’s cuts and plans to eliminate these vital programs.
Visited the Jersey City USPS site today to stand with workers who deserve fairness, transparency, and accountability ✊
Both New Jerseyans and New Yorkers agree: It's time to take action on non-essential helicopters.
That's why I introduced legislation to ban non-essential helicopter flights in the region.
The time is now.

Republicans are cutting EPA programs that put our health and well-being at risk.
We must do better for our children's futures. 👇
Always great to be in Bayonne for their Memorial Day Parade!
Today & everyday we must remember & honor our country’s sons & daughters who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
As a Member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, I advocated for bipartisan legislation that would ban the sale of these devices and other similar gun modifications. I’ll keep pushing until we get it done.
The Trump Admin gave the green light for a device that allows semi-automatic rifles to fire like machine guns. This ill-advised decision will only fuel our gun violence epidemic.
Newark Airport is overwhelmed with congestion, staffing issues, and equipment concerns.
Non-essential helicopters are unnecessary burdens on air traffic controllers and our collective safety. It's time to put our communities - and our safety - first. #StopTheChop
I want to thank them for their dedication to our country, their desire to serve, and their belief in what this country is and should always be. Wishing them all the best in their future endeavors.
As a Member of Congress, we have the privilege of nominating students from the district to our nation’s service academies - including West Point. At today’s commencement, Trump often spoke about himself instead of the graduates. That’s unfortunate.
As a New Jerseyan who lived through Superstorm Sandy, I know how crucial FEMA is to recovery.
But after Trump’s massive cuts, they’ve admitted they’re not ready for hurricane season.
We must fully fund FEMA to ensure New Jersey, and the entire country have a lifeline when disaster strikes.
Three years have passed since the tragic shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which claimed the lives of 19 children and two teachers.
We can never accept this as our reality. As a member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, I will always fight to keep our children and communities safe.
